So my muzzle loader has a small knick in the crown
So I noticed today my muzzle loader has a small knick if that's even what you'd call it in the crown. Just a slight rough spot you can feel with your nail. I don't know if it's what's called the crown or not. It's that part that looks stainless right on the end of the barrel where it's rounding out kind of. Close to where the end of the actual barrel is. Is this thing going to make it shoot way crappy groups now or is it fine and something I shouldn't worry about? A buddy looked at it and said he wouldn't worry it should shoot fine and a bullet would probably smooth it out in a shot or two.
There it is circled in red. What do you guys think? |

It's a real simple matter for a gunsmith to recrown it, but shoot it first and if you like the results, don't bother.

My Swiss k31 has a decent nick in the crown, much larger and deeper than yours, but it shoots just fine.
